It’s not everyday you buy a pair of shoes that make you think of nothing but candy! And I mean the retro sour balls in clear wrapping crunched into pigtails at each end kind of candy. If I wasn’t in a new town I would go to the Candy Aisle on Robson Street in Vancouver and surround myself with bright yellow, orange, green, and blue candy.
Sigh.
Alas, I’m in a new city and have no idea where the good candy stores are. Also, am kitchen-less and couldn’t even attempt to make candy. So I go crazy! I wear my shoes and try to think of other things. Like how I should have spent my afternoon looking for an apartment instead of buying shoes. Or what I’m going to do in the winter with all the snow? Can I still wear these shoes then?
And someone please tell me where the good candy stores in Toronto are.

I may be apartment-less, candy-less, and maybe even a little mad from all the walking and thinking of candy, but am sure happy to have at last been united with my very first pair of Fluevog shoes!
OMG, reading your blog makes me want to eat pies and candies and match my outfits to them! I can totally see what you see!
Best luck on finding a place hun.
You know how, during VanOc, people walked around with signs that say, “Tix wanted”? You should try that: “Apt Wanted.” People will come up to you and say, “Love your shoes! Come stay in my building!”
You could totally advertise for an apartment with your shoes! “Wanted – an apartment worthy of these shoes. Must be artistic and creative enough not be intimidated by neon orange! If my shoes would be happy in your building, call —–”
Heya Morgan. These are a lovely variation on my Mocha Fluvogs. Vancouver Museum is doing a retrospective on Fox/Fluvog from their start in the ’70′s next month. I can’t wait. Glad to see you can get vogs in hogtown.
What is it about orange, eh? I just got a pedicure recently and my nails are that same colour and they have also been making me feel like candy:)
